Geodetic network design for InSAR: Application to ground deformation monitoring

For the past two decades, interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) has been used to monitor ground deformation with subcentimetric precision from space. But the applicability of this technique is limited in regions with a low density of naturally-occurring phase-coherent radar targets, e.g. vegetated nonurbanized areas. Third-party end...

Persistent Scatterer Interferometry based on geodetic estimation theory

The Earth's surface is continuously deforming due to natural and anthropogenic processes, such as tectonics, landslides, oil and gas extraction, and groundwater level changes. Persistent Scatterer Interferometry is a technique that provides measurements of this surface motion based on satellite radar images. The technique uses the persistent...
